March 24, 201412 yr comment_629045 Nice ride, Ben! We've got another storm headed this way midweek so my riding season is in full stall mode. Report

March 27, 201412 yr comment_629370 Got word from Calfee that my replacement Enve 2.0 fork with matching paint job is complete and ready to ship. Took a while but they did me a solid on the price and it's not like I don't have a current fork. Not sure the lawyer tabs were worth what it will cost me but I guess it's worth it if it gives me peace of mind. Now I just have to make it out riding once and a while. Maybe this weekend.... Report
March 28, 201412 yr comment_629437 Anyone up for an afternoon ride for 2-4 hours on Sunday afternoon starting around 1300-1330? Would be starting from my place in Alexandria Edited March 28, 201412 yr by Dreadhead Report
March 28, 201412 yr comment_629455 What route were you planning on riding? I wouldn't mind riding around Alexandria in the future. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk Report
March 28, 201412 yr comment_629460 Had not planned a route really, was going to see what the interest level was but now I'm thinking I'll maybe try out going down to Mason Neck park or something. I apparently just need my CAC to ride through Ft. Belvoir to get down that direction. Report
March 28, 201412 yr comment_629506 Did 6 miles on the CX bike I got in trade last fall. Was the first time I'd been out on it, and did some fine tuning on the fit. I've gotten it fairly close I think, but I want longer cranks I think. Anyway, I'm in TERRIBLE shape after a winter off. Hopefully I can build that back up relatively quickly. Report
March 28, 201412 yr comment_629507 I might have a crank that would work for you depending on your definition of "longer." PM me if you want to discuss details. Report
March 29, 201412 yr comment_629574 Weather predicted for tomorrow is rain and more rain.... FML Report
March 29, 201412 yr comment_629580 It's near 60 here today and the rain is holding off so I'm going to try to get a decent ride in with a couple friends after lunch. Report
March 29, 201412 yr comment_629595 Got 43 miles in today right before the rain started. It was real blustery out so I suffered more than I wanted to but it is what it is. Report
March 29, 201412 yr comment_629604 Decided 36° was still to cold. Daydreaming about new shades though... http://www.tifosioptics.com/products/1120600761/ Polarized + fototec this year? Report
March 29, 201412 yr comment_629618 Cool. I have never felt the need for polarized lenses on my cycling glasses. I look at too many different LCDs. Report
March 29, 201412 yr comment_629619 Polarized lenses can help on wet roads, it keeps the road surface from turning into a giant blinding mirror when the sun is in front of you. It also helps on busy roads, keeps car windows from acting like mirrors and blinding you. If you're not going to see much of either then polarized lenses won't really make a difference, but if you ride in the above conditions a fair bit they're worth it. Report
March 29, 201412 yr comment_629621 Did my morning ride wearing my Tifosi glasses, I love the optics and fit. I like polarized lenses for the perceived clarity but yeah have never had the need for the anti-glare feature while riding. Report
March 30, 201412 yr comment_629633 Got in a nice 25 miler this afternoon. It was cold (40s) and I didn't dress properly but still good to be back out on the bike. Report

I like polarized lenses for the perceived clarity but yeah have never had the need for the anti-glare feature while riding. There is one stretch on my normal route where the glare gets pretty brutal with the Seek FCs after around 7:00 PM. Kinda sucks because the bifocal type lenses in the Dual SL2s would make them a no-brainer if they were polarized. https://www.dualeyewear.com/index.php/dual-sl2.html Report

It was also too crowded last year.... This year was good for the crowd level. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lord_nikon_12/sets/72157643384442023/ ^^ Should take you to the set. Report
